How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5.8kW 208/240V Single-Phase ATS/Monitored PDU

Installing this PDU in a standard 19-inch rack is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing reliability. Follow these general steps to prepare and mount the unit, connect power, and enable monitoring. Always observe your organization’s electrical safety standards and local electrical codes when performing installations.

• Prepare the rack and mounting: Ensure your rack is securely installed and rated for the 2U footprint of the PDU. Gather mounting rails or brackets compatible with the 19-inch rack system and align the PDU’s mounting holes.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Slide the unit into position and secure it with the provided screws or hardware. Confirm the PDU is level and firmly attached to prevent vibration or shifting during operation.
• Connect dual inputs: Attach each of the Dual L6-30P input cords to separate power sources or electrical circuits as required by your redundancy strategy. Ensure the circuits can handle the load and that proper circuit protection is in place.
• Route and connect outlets: Plan outlet usage to balance load across circuits. Connect servers, switches, storage devices, and other IT gear to the 16 C13 outlets, 2 C19 outlets, and the 1 L6-30R receptacle as needed, keeping power cables tidy to maintain airflow.
• Configure monitoring and alerts: If the PDU supports remote monitoring, configure any available network interfaces or management software to capture real-time load, voltage, and temperature data. Set alert thresholds appropriate for your equipment and data center environment.
• Test and validate: Power up the rack, verify each outlet is energized, and confirm that the ATS switching, if engaged, operates as expected during simulated power disturbances. Confirm that monitoring readings reflect actual voltage, current, and load on each branch outlet.
